Travis Scott Concert Postponed Just Two Hours Before Doors Open
Travis Scott’s reputation in the live space has once again taken a hit, as he aborted a show just hours before it was set to commence.
On Friday (December 15), the Houston native was scheduled to take the stage in Chicago, Illinois as part of his Circus Maximus Tour. Several minutes before 4:30 pm, the United Center announced that the concert would be rescheduled even though doors were supposed to open at 6:30.

“Travis Scott’s show at United Center scheduled for tonight has been postponed,” a social media statement by the venue read. “All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be posted here and emailed to ticketholders directly when available.”
Soon after the news went live, the “90210” hitmaker took to Twitter and wrote: “IM SOOOOOO F–KKKKINGGGGG HOTTTTTTTTTTT.”
Though it was unclear what he meant from the above post, he offered an explanation the following day and added: “I literally spent 24 hrs on a fucking runway. Craziest shit ever.To my people in Chicago I was so ready to go crazyyyy. Chicago always been one if my favorite places. Togo ham and been waiting for it the whole tour.I will be back the first couple days of January.”
Though the specifics of the airport delay remain unclear, it is worth noting that he headlined the Soundstorm festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia the day prior to his commitment in the Windy City.

On the more positive side of things, the 32-year-old star briefly put his rap career on hold to be a couples counselor at his show in Miami last month.
La Flame’s blockbuster tour made its way to the Florida in late November, where he spotted a couple arguing in the crowd. Upon noticing the tiff, he had the stage lights directed toward the pair and made them hug it out, though it was initially met with a bit of reluctance by one of them.

“I see y’all arguing right there. Put the spotlights on them right there,” he said. “Hey, I see y’all arguing tonight. It’s okay – security, back up. This is a love thing. They just need love today. And today y’all gon’ have a good muthafuckin’ time.”
He continued: “So what I want you to do right there, I want you to give her a big hug real quick. Stand up. Now you gotta give him a hug if you love him! You gotta give him a real hug! Yeah, there we go!”
